Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant

I decided to treat my son to his favorite General Tao chicken. Cynthia's was convenient as I was shopping in the area. Imagine my surprise when he showed up with our takeout order totalling $27 for hot and sour soup, singapore vermicelli and the chicken. I don't mind spending on quality food. But the chicken was so overcooked that it was inedible and the vermicelli needed to be doctored with a cup of soy due to lack of flavor, not to mention the smallest portions I've ever seen. We've had much better quality at the foodcourt at the mall. And that's not saying much.

What can I say about this place other than it's the best place for Chinese food in Newmarket. I have never been dissapointed with any of their dishes.

It's more expensive than most Chinese restaurants, but well worth the price.

I have not given out any 10s, but this place comes the closest to that for me.

I have to write about this great restaurants (both of them) the one in Newmarket & the one at the Promenade Mall. We are in the restaurant business for 35 years,.. I thing we know some what good food and Cynthia's is the best there is in all GTA if not in all Ontario.
We being celebrating everything at Cynthia, from birthdays to wedding anniversaries and staff parties, we never had bed service or “Not great food Ever”, we love Chinese food. We occasionally go to other Chinese restaurant and very rarely, we found one that comes close to Cynthia’s. Joe, Cynthia and Andy Lam, have the restaurant business in their hearth. We have always wanton or hot and sawer soup to start, then we ask, what is off the menu today? And always a surprise, even the steaks "yes steaks" are of the best Angus beef available, General Tao Chicken, Pan fried Dumplings with the hot pepper oil hotter then the regular one (ask for it), home made just delicious, the spring rolls, (we get them by the hundreds for my special caterings, and always have had compliments, *The only thing that I get from the staff of Cynthia’s is the over attentive service and with this said.. I do not know why people are so mean, complaining about this great treasure of restaurant, They even have great espresso and cappuccino and great Italian house wines, Cynthia, Joe, Sandy , Simon, Williams, Frank and the girls of both restaurant have all my lion share of business, fantastic food and service, *Priced properly for the Items ordered, We Indulge our selves every visit at Cynthia since 1993 (that is a lot of years and food dishes) I buy gift certificates for my friends and employees and never had a complain yet. from Scarborough to Mississauga!
keep up the Great work ... I'm going there family day AGAIN!

I have been to many Chinese restaurant before, I have to say this is the best I ever been to. The atmosphere is great and the place is so clean. We let the manager to do the menu for us, and they did an excellent job. Everything is so authentic. People are saying Cynthia's is pricy, but hey, what you pay is what you get. Don't compare this restaurant with other low-end Chinese restaurant like the one in downtown China town. By the way, they have live entertainment on Saturday.

I've had the good fortune to have eaten in some of the finest restaurants in Canada, the United States and a number in London, Paris and even a few in Asia. I've never found a better chinese food experience than what you will find at Cynthia's.

I truly have trouble believing some of the reviews that I have read. One in particular - is a disgruntled employee!

We dine in or take out from Cynthia's a couple of times a month and never once have we been disappointed. If you want a great experience - let your waiter order for you!

The delivery is excellent - our soup was so hot when it arrived that we had to let it sit for several minutes before we could even attempt to eat it. Or ourders are always accurrate and arrive on time or early!

Cheers and thanks for many great dining experiences.

The decore of the restaurant is good and the service was okay. But it went all downhill from there. The food was way overpriced and medicore at best. And quite frankly, I have tasted better elsewhere for less. They charged us twice for tea because we asked for an additional cup after the pot that we ordered had arrived. This was a total insult and very cheap of them. A restaurant should, at the most, charge per pot of tea (it should not matter how many cups you have with that pot). I left no tip. I would not recommend this restaurant. If you want a nicer dining experience, then; please look elsewhere!

Everything is great !!! A good chinese restaurant finally.

The service was fast and efficient and the selection of food was fantastic. The taste was amazing and the price was great. The atmosphere was very nice; open and uncluttered. A great place to dine.

absolutely fantastic.. have been a patron since they opened.. you can not get better anywhere in the whole world.. you have to go there to appreciate it..
